Charles Leclerc is being completely selfish here. He doesn't understand team strategy and Ferrari are far, far too slow to issue a team order. Ridiculous really.

From BBC Sport: "Manchester City will claim as part of their appeal that key sponsorship deals were funded by the Abu Dhabi government, rather than the club's owners." A couple of things spring to mind here: 1. Why didn't they say this at the original hearing? 2. State Aid rules or the post-

Given the guilty verdicts against Manchester City and the very serious nature of those charges, assuming an appeal is rejected, the only appropriate sanction to apply to the club is that it is expelled from the EPL. The club can then apply to join the EFL and enter at the lowest level-

Can I just make it clear that Sky Sports News are not reporting the Manchester City story properly. Manchester City have been found guilty of breaches. It is not "reports that the club has breached". Stop sanitising that club.

We all remember Schumacher's foul (a better description may be an assault) that in normal regular circumstances in a non-sporting context, he may have been charged with GBH by the police. As I understand it, the referee on the day lives with the regret of not spotting what we all could see.

They're apparently from Uruguay, and this was recorded in 1983. As if Quarteto em Cy had teamed up with Free Design and Edu Lobo to offer music of a kind that had never been heard before, with just three voices and a couple of classical guitars. Sublime.
